We need more junior pukes so we can have more senior pukes.

We need logical-predictable-dependable career progression, and seniority single most important factor in that.

We can't depend on the industry, although we would like to.

We can't depend on fair and open skies being administered equitably world wide in a climate that encourages and guarantees fair competition without government subsides.

We can't depend on reliable governance to administer the laws fairly.

We can't depend on corporate management to always do the right thing by the pilots. We certainly can't depend on growth and fleet plans, and of course business plans.

But, we should all be able to depend on seniority 100% of the time. We all know where we stand and what we can do and what we can hold.
